Appearance
A mid-sized honeyeater at 13–15 cm in length, it is olive green above and white below, with a black head, nape and throat and a red patch over the eye and a white crescent-shaped patch on the nape, thinner than other species. Juveniles have brownish crowns and an orange base of bill. Its call is a "mjerp mjerp".
Habitat
It is found in forest. Its diet is principally nectar from a variety of flowers supplemented by insects and various other invertebrates.
Reproduction
White-naped honeyeaters may nest from July to December, breeding once or twice during this time. The nest is a thick-walled bowl of grasses and bits of bark in the fork of a tall tree, usually a eucalypt. Two or three eggs are laid, 18 x 14 mm and shiny buff-pink sparsely spotted with red-brown.References:
